What is Post-Abortion Syndrome?

It is no respecter of persons. It affects women and men. It crosses all cultures: race…religious beliefs…social or financial status.

How do I know if I am hurting from a past abortion experience?

The symptoms of post-abortion syndrome will not necessarily appear at the same time, nor is it likely that an woman will experience the entire list. Some may occur immediately after an abortion and others much later. If you can identify any of these symptoms, it could be that you are experiencing post-abortion syndrome:

Guilt

Self-hatred – inability to forgive oneself

Depression and suicidal thoughts

Sadness

Hopelessness

Sudden and uncontrollable crying

Development or increase of eating disorders

Alcohol and drug abuse

Increased sexual promiscuity

Deterioration of self-esteem

Loneliness

Anger, irritability

Anxiety

Fear

Deep sense of loss

Lasting Hope offers hope and healing through an eleven week confidential support group, designed to help men and women who are struggling with the pain resulting from having chosen abortion.

Group facilitators guide participants through forgiveness, emotional healing, and restoration.
